Stainless is another chrome appearing material. It has several advantages similar to nickel plating and when polished can create a very functional and eye appealing piece. I own a stainless Ruger Mark3 with a bull barrel that I absolutely did not need when I bought it.

Here's the gun in question, FYI. It's a good looking piece, IMO.
I don't feel so bad knowing you guys have been duped into making similar purchases. I guess humans just really like shiny shit.
